The Royal Institution Revenue and Competitors

The Royal Institution is an independent charity dedicated to connecting people with the world of science.\r\n\r\nScience shapes our lives, our culture and the world around us. It’s the medical treatment that may save your life. It’s the device in your pocket that connects you to the world. And it’s how we will solve the major global challenges of the future.\r\n\r\nOur mission is to harness science for the maximum benefit of society.\r\n\r\nThe importance of our mission cannot be overstated. It was recognised by the 58 wealthy individuals who founded the Ri in 1799 and is just as relevant today. But to achieve the full benefits of what science has to offer, we must ensure that there is a healthy interaction between science and society – something we have pioneered for more than 200 years.\r\n\r\nThere are multiple ways to get involved and support the Ri and to think more deeply about the wonders and applications of science.\r\n\r\nThe Royal Institution is a registered charity, no 227938.
